Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve a crispier texture.

Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. The drier the fries, the better they'll fry.
